What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $30,000 this round
Thomas Percy Kim is an extraordinarily talented young screenwriter. His short film, Si (2020), is a moving glimpse into a Korean-American adoptee's struggle to navigate adolescence while grappling with his own identity. One of the remarkable aspects of this short is that Thomas is able to paint such a vivid portrait of the psychological turmoil Si endures in a film running just ten minutes. For his debut feature film, Isle Child, Thomas revisits this story, tracing Si’s journey from infancy in South Korea to high school in Massachusetts and ultimately on his search for connection to his cultural roots. Comparisons to such films as Moonlight and Minari are not just hyperbole. I believe that Isle Child has the potential to make an impact at a level rarely contemplated for films of similarly modest budgets.
